More than 20% of Japanese men and women older than 65 still work, and this trend is expected to grow
Too old soon, too late smart. These free wheeling foot lose and fancy free people are facing a lonely and probably bleak end.
We have been retired for 8 years now. The time is numbered from here and each season passes too quickly. I don't need to work and that's good because I don't want to. I had a demanding sometimes tedious, frustrating and often times irritating job and I had enough of that. Don't get me wrong, I loved my work and my profession. What I didn't like was people that made it much harder than it needed to be and much of what they did was unnecessary and silly. Instead I work every day at something that makes me happy and feel accomplished. I build, fix and create and have an endless scope of projects but some days I just sit and watch the world go by or read or listen to a concert. One day my health or my wife's will give out and we will have to shift gears.

It’s going to be a tough time for future retirees. They are no pensions, politicians want to take away social security. Not sure workers are putting enough in their 401K and even if they are one good turn to the negative will lower the balance. It’s definitely going to be a dismal future for most.
